My latest review of #kon is out! This covers, in part, the 2011 #kon movie, which was a bit of an inspiration to my visit to the British Museum, specifically the Enlightenment Gallery (previously called the King's Library) bsky.app/profile/popc... #girlsband #bandanime #anime #popculture #reviews
This was probably when they started talking to Angel Studios...
There was a statement on their website they are "currently in talks to bring the show to streaming services" mechwestshow.com/learn-more/ (36/?) #indieanimation #mechwest

Apparently this will all be on Angel Studios streaming platform, and not on YouTube. I can understand, but this isn't great for fans. I feel like they were deceptive about this early on, and should have prepared people for it, making it seem they would stay on YouTube and not take down episodes.

Since this came out over a month ago, those who are producing MechWest decided to take down free episodes of this series (except for episode 1) and put them on Angel Studios, a streaming platform with Christian content, which isn't something I want to support, honestly.

Does anyone know why the release of the Scott Pilgrim Takes Off Blu-ray was delayed to March 24, 2026? It was originally going to come out on December 2nd of this year...

I wonder if @gingerhaze.bsky.social and @boom-studios.com can take it to @glitchprod.com to finally make it into a cartoon show? I have no idea if Glitch Presents is accepting any new partnerships ATM, just throwing the idea out there. Thought it would be a good idea.

I'm okay with a sequel of The Mitchells vs. the Machines as long as Katie is super-gay. I say that because in the original film they kinda shoe-horned her girlfriend into the end. I know some people praised it and all, like Rebecca Sugar, but I have to disagree with them variety.com/2025/film/ne...

I cannot express to you how urgent it is that we all loudly and constantly support queer media right now. It is my number one goal for this year, to support and promote as many queer artists as possible.

So angry. My @wordpress.com blog got taken down *without warning*. This isn't the first time this has happened to one of my #WordPress blogs. I was in the middle of sending an email and this occurred. I sent the following message to them. They really need to fix their damn filters.

It took just three days to get Sinclair to back down, and what it got in exchange for agreeing to put Kimmel back on the air was...nothing. This is not what happens every time you stand up to a bully, but if you don't fight back, you'll never know if you would have won.

I don't know if you saw this, @okazu.yuricon.com, but a good addition to the next Yuri News Network update would be that #girlsbandcry is getting a new anime film, with #girlsbandcry having *some* yuri themes at the very least www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2025-09...

Maybe writing about #indieanimation was a mistake. A recent interaction showed me the follies of such writing. It can be difficult sometimes to write about, especially if a series hasn't released yet. Perhaps I'll review more #anime or older Western #animation instead. I haven't really decided yet.

Glad I cancelled #hulu and #disney before the price increase. Such bad timing for this price increase. It makes them look like money-grubbing jerks. Ugh. #boycottdisney #boycotthulu

Bye bye Disney! I managed my #disneyplus account through #hulu. Have no intention of ever renewing anytime soon. #boycottdisney #boycotthulu #boycottespn

So in "Addams Family Values" literally try to make Wednesday, Pugsley, and Joel "cheerful" (i.e. a form of torture) by watching hours of... Disney films youtu.be/8-YZUIksniY?... which is only so relevant with all the #disneyboycott going on right now.

@okazu.yuricon.com, it may be of interest that Sentai Filmworks added new December 2025 preorders, incl. Flower and Asura (centered on female friendship, based on a novel series by Ayano Takeda, who wrote Sound! Euphonium) and Azumanga Daioh www.sentaifilmworks.com/collections/...

Not good. "Disney’s decision to take Kimmel off the air also puts a spotlight on how frightened traditional media companies have become in an era when the White House and the Federal Communications Commission pounce on individual reports with comments and legal pushback" variety.com/2025/tv/news...
